It does not require much skill to follow the conventional patterns, so long as we are engaged in the so-called normal pursuits of life. When the unexpected arises, however, it requires more than customary disciplines to enable one to respond courageously and constructively. Under fire it is not easy to remain poised. And preparation for such responses has to be made long before the crucial situations arise, if they are to be satisfying and enduring. So many of our responses and decisions today have to be made under varying degrees of pressure and frequently in crisis. Consequently, an increasing amount of time should be spent, by every person in trying to work out a basic philosophy of life which will enable him to remain calm and react positively in a topsy-turvy world. In the development of such underlying principles it Seems to us that at least three factors should be taken into account. First, one should seek to develop the faith that the universe is in safe hands. This does not preclude the possibility of atomic annihilation by unscrupulous leaders, nor does it mean that God will save the world while we sit passively by and look on. Through our own complacency and inactivity, we contribute to world decay and disaster. But a generation of fearful people with no basic confidence in life and no God whom they can genuinely trust will have difficulty developing poise and stamina in the face of calamitous situations. And there must be more than outward poise. — the effort to hide one's feelings when his inner world has gone to pieces. It is only when the person feels brave inside that his outer actions are noble and dependable. Second, one must have a cause bigger than himself to which he gives his allegiance. And this cause must be sufficiently defined so that he will not simply be a blind follower of an enslaving ideology. He should be a provocative crusader for a better world. When one's interest is focused entirely upon himself and his personal welfare, he has no compelling cause to keep him going at times when his own ambitions have been thwarted. But if he denies himself with an impersonal cause he can feel himself a part of an ongoing movement, whatever may be his personal fate. Third, one needs an unquenchable faith in the workability of the program of the kingdom of God. A man must have some basic convictions for which he is willing to live and for which he is willing to die, if he hopes to maintain a reliable inner structure from which a happy and stable personality emerges. HINTS FOR FIRE PREVENTION National Fire Prevention Week has begun, and the editor of the Memphis WORLD would like to five its readers some helpful hints concerning prevention of fires in the home. In most cases, fire causes are. traced to somt unconcerned individual who nonchalantly tossed a cigarette on dry grass while enjoying a picnic, or some careless person who forgot to put the cigarette out before falling off to sleep. Most of the time, these persons e cape inJury, but bring destruction to others. For the protection of those around you, follow the fire prevention rules: Never toss a match or other lighted material in dry grass; never go to sleep with n lighted; cigarette or cigar. Place matches which are kept in the house, in a tin can or other safe place. If there are children in the house keep all fire hazard out, of reach. Throw all rags out of closets or other close place. In the last decade, fire has killed more than 100,000 persons and burned or disfigured many of hundreds of thou ands more About 70 per cent of the lire deaths are women and children. Eire seeks no level It strike rich and poor without warning—farms and factories without mercy. To hall this tragic and needless waste of lives and property, the President of the United States and the Governor-General of Canada have proclaimed Oct. 8-14 as Fire Prevention Week Make a special effort to rout out fire hazards during this time, out MAKE EVERY, WEEK FIRE PREVENTION, WEEK! —Don't think of them only during the national observance; obey them throughout the year. REVIEWING NEWS BY WILLIAM GORDON In defense of the President of the United States it should be brought out that Mr. Truman has made a move that meets the approval and support of the American people. The President's program has been bitterly fought. His farm program, his health program, his aid to education and of course his civil rights program met with some of the most adverse criticism ever witnessed in the nation. We must admit, that despite all this criticism the President has emerged as a hero and a militant leader in the minds of the American people. His recent move in respect to the Social Security Program has meant a lot to the future of individual workmen and particularly for the total framework of the nation's economy. While anxiety was increasingly felt as to the proximity of global war with its threat to all human survival, one segment of American public leadership became very effective in regard to the problem of the aged. A substantial amendment was made to the Social Security Act on which the 81st Congress has been working practically since the first of 1949. The passage of the recent Social Security Act came as a life-saver to millions of the aged and the incapable. Millions of persons, long without aid at their retiring ages have suddenly fallen into a situation where they will be benefited and helped along at a time when they need assistance most. The Social security Act treats of a compulsory savings system. An additional 10,000,000 persons will be brought under the Old Age Benefit coverage by the law signed by President Truman on August 29. Thus 45,000,000 citizens will be getting pay from which taxes are deducted. The cost of the program for the individual and his employer will naturally go up. This cost however, will be far below the cost of maintaining various institutions and agencies to take care of the aged in the years to come. It should also be taken in to consideration that income of this nature will not only directly benefit those on the receiving end, but will also help to stabilize the nation's economy. It will mean that more money will be constantly in circuation. The people who receive these benefits will naturally spend them with the storekeeper, the automoblie dealer and the clothing merchant as well as the real estate concern. All of this means a steady flow of income and outgo which will keep the heartbeat of this nation striking at an even rhythmatic tempo. It will definitely help to keep this nation at the top of the list as one with the greatest amount of income per person and the highest standard of living. President Truman should at least be praised for first looking at the interest of the people at large.

Walt Whitman wrote "A great city is that which has the greatest men and women " An infallible test of a citizen's greatness is his devotion to the Common welfare. In the history of man's organized effort to promote the common welfare the Community Chest stands out as the greatest community reach for human betterment. And I say that on the Chest I campaigners depends its fate. They are a great people. What kind of a job are they going to do this year? They're going to find. I think, that the success of this campaign will depend on larger subscriptions from larger' sectors of the supporting public What are Chest campaigners going to do with a challenge like that? Sit down and whine' Or get up and shine? It's their business, not mine, to know the answer. But I Can describe to them a few of the prospect they're going to come up against. There will be the DISINTEREST ED PROSPECT. Cold, clammy, let-the-world-go-hang guy. Looks out the window while you're talking to him. Says "uh huh" all the while, thinking about te fish he caught on his vacation. His social conscience is equal to the square root of minus X I think you'll have to put this fellow on the educate-the-public list. Then there will be RELUCTANT PROSPECT. He knows he should make a dignified subset union. He hopes, however, that he will be away from his desk when the solictor calls; or, failing that, that the solicitor will be sap enough to leave a subscription card with his secretary, with the timid request that it be filled out and mailed in to the Chest. This prospect will listen to reason if he has to but he does not-like the sound of its voice He can be persuaded only if he is seen personally. To try any other approach is to commit a sin. There will also be the STINQY PROSPECT. You know he is able to come across handsomely, and he know you know it. He bathes his, hand in glue before he puts it in his pocket. He expects five hundred dollars to do the work of five thousand While signing a pledge card with his right hand he is beckoning the recording angel with the other. Operate on him It's the only way to save him, and it may even command the attention of the recording angel. The EVASIVE PROSPECT is likewise always with us This fellow has more alibis than there are flies at a Sunday School picnic Put at all on the tax roll, he says, though he turns purple at the thought of the welfare state. He won't give while agency X is in the Chest, he prefers to do his "charity" on a personal basis; the Chest goal Is too high; overhead is unreasonable, though he couldn't tell you what it is. He manufactures excuses on a production line basis. The only way to handle this type is to gang up on him and shame him into submission. Finally, thank the Lord, there is the RESPONSIVE PROSPECT. And there must be plenty of them or the Chest wouldn't be where it is today Listen to him: "Glad to see you How much have you got me down for? What's the story this year? Go on, I'm listening." This wonderful fellow is like a hot in the arm to the ' solicitor who has just come up against the characters mentioned previously.

Just how successful they will be depends upon how stead cans adhere to unwavering FAITH IN GOD. LET US NEVER FORGET "WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THK LORD LOOKING THINGS OVER By HELEN CALDWELL DAY Today I was reading Bernano Dairy of a Country Priest looking for a particular! pas-age. I wanted to quote in speaking. I finally found that, but I found another also which it. might be well for us to consider. He says; To understand is; also a way of loving." That is something we have to learn It is also the beginning of tolerance. But we don't try to understand. We are too quick to judge each other ot jump to conclusions We are suspicious of new ideas and customs. We are distrust ful of people of different colors or nationalties. We Negroes, and my friendly white people to Negroes, are especially distrustful of white people. We look askance at anything inter-racial and hold off from it In fear and doubt even before It has had a chance to develop. That is not understanding. We cannot prematurely Judge either groups or individuals. Understand means giving the other person or group the benefit of the doubt until he has proven himself. We cannot judge either individuals according to other similar groups individuals of those races or other people we have Known: with similar traits. Each person or group should be' allowed to stand or fall on his Its own merits, and judged only according to his (or her) own actions, and Intentions Insofar as we can know them We have to realize that because people are- different from us in the way they or act or dress, does not mean, necessarily that they are wrong Perhaps we are wrong. Perhaps we both are wrong. Where the difference.? are not according to the necessarily absolute standards of Philosophy or religion, perhaps we are both right. In any event, we are bound to seek and weigh justly the reasons for our differences. That is understanding. When we have gone this far It's easy to love. Most people are nice when you get know them. To understand why they are as they are is the beginning of "getting to know them." It is also the only way we have of changing them when their ways or ideas really are wrong and unchristian. When you can present a problem—like the racial problem' for instance, to a person from his own viewpoint, and then show why that altitude toward it which he has adopted is unchristian and Wrong, you can win him far more easily than if you had merely. condemned the Idea or attitude abstractly or superiorly as one Who knows all the answers without having suffered any of the inconveniences In fact this latter, far from converting someone only serves to anger him. Of course it is hard to understand people who fight against us, who persecute or oppress us, who stifle or snub us who mock or ridicule us; it is harder still to love them. Yet Bernanos says also that "Hell is not to love anymore." Not to love anymore." Perhaps hate is a poison which dries up the faculty of love and atrophies, it. That alone is enough reason to learn to understand and love each other. Dr. Mays To Speak To Students In La. Dr. Benjamin E.

Ford Tractor Implements Are Displayed At Fair Among features at the Tri-State Pair was the Ford Tractor display, shown by the Dealer's Tractor and Equipment Company, 330 South Parkway West. The company is the wholesale distributor for the Ford Tractor and the Dearbon Farm implements.! On display was the Dearbon Planter-a machine used for planting with a floodlight and bean hopper attachment; the Dearbon Corn Harvester, Dearbon Field Cultivator, and the Dearbon Side Delivery Rake. All of these machines are powered by the Ford Tractor Power-Take-Off, 1950 model. This is one of the first light tractor models run off the assemblyn line at the Ford Motor Company, Detroit, Machigan. Main attraction was the Dearbon Cordwood Saw, which is attached to the tractor, and may be elevated by a lever attachment on the tractor without the driver moving from his seat. It may be moved from one field to another and lowered when needed. In charge pf this display were Charles Marshall, 1028 Neptune; and Jesse Perkins, 742 Alaska. Both are employed by the Dealer's Company. American Council's Intergroup Survey Summarized In Pamphlet The failure of our schools to come to grips with many of the significant issues of the day may be attributed In part to gaps and omissions in our textbooks and courses of study according to the current Public Affairs Pamphlet, PREJUDICE IN TEXTBOOKS. This pamphlet summarizes an American Council in Education study, made possible through a grant of funds from the National Conference of Christians and Jews and offers a number of concrete suggestions for improving the teach ing of intergroup relations it every school level. The study shows that the textbooks and courses of study are, with very few exceptions, free from in tentional bias toward any group in the. American population, howpamphlet reports. It discloses, however, many instances of careless wording which tended to perpetuate antagonisms now current in American life. Among the serious omissions found In our texts, the pamphlet comments on "the failure to stress sufficiently the worth of the Individual," and the failure of the texts to personalize our basic civil liberties It is suggested that "the attempt of the United Nations to formulate a statement of human fights that will be applicable to every country presents an opportunity for vivid teaching and wider experimentation in the field." The American Council study also found that most textbooks failed to give a satisfactory picture of group organization in the United States. "While the textbooks do not neglect groups altogether," the pamphlet says, "they usually present far too simple a picture. The tendency is to type the group member rather than to emphasize the variety of individuals within the group." A related error creeps in connection with the treatment of Americanization. "A few texts," the pamphlet declares, "treat Amerlcanization as a process by which immigrants are transformed into carbon copies of established. Amer leans," and "an even larger' num ber present the 'melting pot' idea which was popular during the 19th century." It is noted, however, that the more mocracy" was recognizes that modern texts stress "cultural dethe differences in the background of Americans of various descent may be an asset instead of liability. In treating the various minority groups within the American population, tire textbooks are found to err chiefly In falling to stress the contributions of these groups to modern life. After dealing with the Reconstruction Period, for example, many history books tend to ignore the Negroes altogether. Descriptions of the religious, family, social and general cultural activities of Negroes are either not given or are so general that they are almost without meaning. Similarly, little is given about the present-day problems and contributions of the American Indian, the Chinese-American, the Japanese-American, or our Spanish speaking minorities. "Most of the material about Jews in the texts," the pamphlet points out," is about the ancient Jews.. Less than 12 per cent of the texts even mentioned the existence of the Jews as a modern religious group." These basic weaknesses, the pamphlet concludes, lie "not in texts alone but in the courses of study for which textbooks are prepared. Only as those courses of study demand the Inclusion of topics on intergroup relations, some of which are inevitably controversial, will the textbooks be substantially improved, A remaking of curriculums must precede the revision of textbooks. That revision involves, first, the writings of passages focused directly on the description and exposition of contemporary intergroup relations, and, second, careful scrutiny of the Indirect references now in the textbooks."

Out of a litter of six pigs, five were fed on a balanced diet, while the sixth was fed on a menu of corn alone. The balanced menu of the five consisted of tankage, cottonseed meal, salt, corn, water, and mineral. According to County Agent Ernest Brazzle, the pig fed on corn only was not up to par in weight comparison with the others who had the balanced diet. The difference was 100 pounds. Corn will make some fat; but will add little protein supplement to the body building diet. The ingredients given to the other five Durocs will give tat, protein and iron, and bone building substance to the body. This 4-H demonstration of the showing of six Duroc pigs and the sow, was awarded the first, second, third and fourth - First Premium Livestock and Poultry ribbons. The age of the litter is five months and ten days. Erman Porter, Sr., Is owner and operator of a 100 acre farm in Lucy, Tenn.
